  • Bow Wow Wow Yippie Yo Yippie Yea

    Wow. This past month has been an endless whirlwind of chaos. We have finally been able to see some of POTUS’s tax returns, and they reveal exactly what you would expect—he’s not a very successful businessman, losing money left and right, yet living a billionaire lifestyle while ignoring anything beyond himself. A new book, Rage…

  • Lighten up, while you still can…

    The Dude decided to take some time this weekend post another contest entry. Seasons are starting to change, school is restarting (although there are significant challenges), and a major election is less than two months away. Sometimes it feels overwhelming– but one of the silver linings to the 2020 dumpster fire is being able to…

  • Rolling and riding and slipping and sliding, it's magic

    So now that the cat is out of the bag, so to speak, it’s time to get the ball rolling! As promised, The Dude is going to conduct another contest for Quatloos: fame, glory, respect, it can all be yours!!! As in previous contests, you have to provide the song and artist that corresponds to…

  • I wouldn't venture out there fellas. This sniper's got talent.

    This looks interesting– a fully integrated first person shooter addition to EVE Online: 100 Quatloos for the character who spoke the line and the movie title. Remember: no looking it up (i.e. cheating)!

  • Plastics.

    The AKO rented The Social Network this week, and we watched it last night– afterward, she asked jokingly, “Did the movie make you want to sign up for Facebook?” The Dude laughed, and simply reiterated his opinion of that site and its founder/CEO… they were not favorable. 100 Quatloos for the character who spoke the…

  • She can't act, she can't sing, she can't dance. A triple threat.

    Hello dear readers! Another weekend, another contest. The AKO pointed out that the video attached to last week’s post had… limited appeal. Given that, the obvious response for The Dude, being a dues paying member of The Evil Geniuses for a Better Tomorrow, is to post another wonderful video clip! *insert maniacal laugh here* On…

  • No, I don't think I will kiss you, although you need kissing, badly. That's what's wrong with you. You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how.

    Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s going to be a short post this time, just wanted to make sure that interested parties are aware of this, and that they should also watch this: 100 Quatloos for the character who spoke the line and the movie title. 100 additional Quatloos for the name of the actress who became…

  • You're dumber than you think I think you are.

    Genghis is cracking Casa del The Dude up this week. She is in the short sentence phase of language development, just a couple words at a time, but her personality is really coming through. The girls got the gifts of Just Dance and Just Dance 2 for Christmas, and Genghis luuuuuuvs to get her groove…

  • "More human than human" is our motto.

    Watching Colbert interview Amy Chua– anyone else think that her current line is the result of a marketing campaign gone bad? It’s amusing to watch her backpedal from the widely reported position that “Chinese mothering” techniques are inherently superior to “Western mothering”. Ooops. 100 Quatloos for the character who spoke the line and the movie…

  • Forgive me, Mr. Bond, but, uh… I must arrange to separate my gold from the late Mr. Solo.

    Happy 2011 readers! The Dude hopes that the year finds you all happy and healthy! The poll yielded a close race between an original contest and another movie quote contest, with the movie quote contest edging the original one out by one vote. That being the case, we’ll be doing a movie quote contest- but…
